Major Tuddy
Appearance
Major Tuddy is the mascot of the Washington Commanders of the National Football League (NFL).
Major Tuddy - a pig - pays homage to the Hogs, the Washington Redskins offensive line during the team's Super Bowl runs in the 1980s and early 90s. The name "Major" is a tribute to the Washington Metro Area's military ties, while "Tuddy" is a slang football term evolved from the abbreviation of a touchdown (TD).[1][2][3]
